Issue Description

Young Lieutenant Jim Whitney was a fire-eating paratrooper who asked nothing better than to be dropped where the Nazis were thickest. The more there were around, the more he could shoot, Jim reckoned.

When it came to fighting you couldn't blame Jim for thinking his middle-aged scientist father was a bit past it. "Boffins" belonged in their laboratories.

Yet in their most dangerous raid to date, to find out about the new German radar detectors in Sicily, Jim only discovered after he'd hit the ground that the VIP who dropped with them to steal the German secrets was none other than his own peace-loving Dad - and that was when the fighting really started…
